| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| what is the input phosphor made of | cesium iodide |
| what is the output phosphor made of | zinc cadmium sulfide |
| what is the normal size of the input phosphor ? mag 1? mag2? | 25cm, 17cm, 12cm |
| what is the normal size of the output phosphor | 1-2.5 |
| what is the fluoro table made of | carbon fiber, polycarbonate.. |
| how do you find the magnification factor | input 1 / input 2 |
| how do you find the flux gain | output phosphor/input phosphor |
| how do you find minification | input phosphor squared / output phosphor squared |
| how do we calculate brightness gain | minification x flux gain |
| what happens to exposure when the grid is off center | decrease exposure to the entire image |
| what happens to the exposure when the grid is off level | decrease exposure of the entire image |
| what is the sequence from the input phosphor to the output phosphor | xrays-light-electrons-light |
| if you have something off focus from the grid | decreased exposure around the edges |
| when the grid is inverted or upside down what happens to the image / exposure | severe decrease at the edges of the exposure- the image in the center will be good but the edges will appear blank |
| AEC allows for images to fall within an acceptable range on a _ _ of patients | mixed population |
| the backup timer should not be higher than _ % of anticipated exposure | 150% |
| what is the purpose of the back-up timer | if the AEC fails the backup timer will ensure that the patient is not contually being exposed |
| what is the drawback to AEC | technologist must have precise patient positioning |
| what are the two main radiation productions | bremsstrahlung and characteristic |
| bremsstrahlung makes what time of spectrum | continuous energy spectrum |
| greatest quantity of bremsstrahlung xrays are made at _ of the set kvp | 1/3 example: set 120, greatest is at 40 |
| bremsstrahlung: incoming electrons _ _ in the target atom | slow around |
| characteristic xrays are what type of spectrum | discrete emmision spectrum |
| innnermost shell of the atom is | k shell |
